By the book: A new marketplace for artists

Milan – Italian notebook company Moleskine has unveiled a new online platform where consumers can buy customised notebooks directly from artists.

The Moleskine Artist Marketplace is a new hub for sharing and discovering new work, trading tips for customising covers and buying from artists. ‘From embroidery and origami, to oil painting, photography and taxidermy, the full range of artistic techniques is on display,’ explains Moleskine.

Visitors to the site can also choose to meet the artists, and in the above video Giorgio Milano, a painter from Naples, is presented.
